Inspire by "Life with Motif" book, I choosed this green and greenblend yarn for my small Al Qur'an bag. The pattern is simple just dc for the body bag and handle and popcorn stitch for the upper edge.

I made six dc for this popcorn stitch. Looks cubby...ha..ha..ha...

O ya... this bag is also my first project in using two colour of yarn to perform the motif. Well it's just check pattern but I learned how to change colour in a row. The right picture show how to do it.

Thank you Yenny, please do not worry, I received the package already....

Yenny tried to surprise me by sending this without saying anything... Well I was surprise... I received it before I read her e-mail. The postman told me that he've come to my apato last week but no body home. Of course... we were in Indonesia and my hubby was in his office.

Yenny, I like the yarn, especially the pink one !! I'll try to make a bag - a cable bag - like Thata's. I never knit using this kind of yarn, I think I'll need to buy the new needle to match the yarn size.

Visiting my hometown for 10 days.... wow...I discover that my mother's house is full of her crochet project. Yes... she is a crochet expert, she even sold them when I was a kid. And when I ask her how she did it ? where are the pattern ? she just said, I don't have pattern, I just do it.

She made many kind of stuff like cushion cover, doily, table runner, shawl, and this small 'kendi' cover. But now as she getting old she can not do crochet like she used to be.
